Thanks,

Then you'll know where to reposition it later on. You could rent the tools if you don't have them. It saves you from buying them and saves on your back and head when you try to Jerry-rig some contraption that can't do what you need it to do anyway. Are you rebuilding it or replacing it.? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 3 | I bought the truck with a bad engine. The previous owner said the head was bad and threw it out. He also removed one piston and connecting rod. I have another 235 from a 60 C30 truck I bought for parts that I will put in. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | You would well served to remove the engine and trans as one unit. Then you can do the clutch and reconnection of the trans "on the bench" instead of under the truck. Take the grill and radiator off, send the radiator out now, so that it's ready for you when you get the engine back in. | | |
